I treat polymer clay not as a toy material, but as a serious medium with endless creative potential. My work explores abstract organic forms inspired by nature, resulting in lightweight, ergonomic wearable sculptures. Each piece plays with balance, movement, and structure ?blurring the line between jewelry, sculpture, and contemporary design.
